The child was born and given up for adoption because of these events. Fortunately he turned out to be a great kid and had a very good life. Sorry I can ramble about this case for hours. But my point is that there were some major differences between the film and the events. If this case interests you then I highly recommend the book Jailing the Johnston Gang. It is an awesome read!

Whoa! No major beefs here. His Oscar winning performance in "The Deerhunter" was shattering in a great film loaded with great performances. But, my favorite Walken is his "Johnny Smith" in David Cronenberg's brilliant adapt of Stephen King's "The Dead Zone". He perfectly portrays a character that is absolutely haunting & heartbreaking. This is a movie that often gets overlooked. (it's one of my top 10 favorite movies of all-time.) I'm glad this on your list.

I am not much of a star-gazer, but hey, this is Walken we are talking about. This was around the late 1980's and I still remember as yesterday. He was and is a cool cat.

That he had so many prime performances said a lot. He was stunning in Biloxi Blues, with a take on drill instructor totally unexpected. His Dogs of War take was also unexpected, as he was a merc with more thought than just a payday, trying to rectify a co-opted country.

The best.

I can't believe I only subscribed today after watching for years, but that's cause you don't need me. Your videos are always entertaining and concise, and you always show up on my recommendations because you are good at what you do. Damn, I just gave you more love than I gave my latest crush. Don't let it go to your head.

Great list. We can’t forget his portrayal of Zoran in James Bond’s A View To A kill. He was awesome.

I think based on all the comments there needs to be a part 2

+Hugo Stiglitz I think you may have misunderstood @girlzeyeview's comment. She was agreeing with you. When she said "you", she was referring to the narrator, who was talking so much. There was no hostility or judgment.

Honestly, I think this list needs more cowbell

I was going to say the same. LOL But I thought i'd better scroll through the comments to see if someone else hadn't already said it because it's just so obvious.

He is One if the most charismatic quirky character Actors of All Time. Loved him in Nine lives. He was amazing as Mr. Perkins.....

Mr Walken is a fantastic actor. No bad performances. He makes movies better

The father in "At Close Range" is one of his top 5 performances of all time, without question.

Walter Nave most definitely. the coyote monologue before he shot his own son is easily one of the most chilling, intense scenes to ever hit the screen. totally underrated film.

I had to put the kitchen scene in the comments. I couldn’t let this list go by without it. I forgot how good the part ‘death of Tommy’ was. That speech was fantastic
